Personally,I wouldn't do any more as I prefer things relatively simple and 'authentic' in appearance.
Changing the Tsuba was a good choice imho and the Rattan is just enough,any more would have made it look a bit OTT,in my eyes anyway.
I think you've got the harmony/balance in customising this Bushido just right.

Praise from me,is praise indeed.....I don't hand it out like confetti.

So what's the next project bro'??
